Hasegawa 65717 - 1/72 Macross VF-1 Super/Strike Valkyrie Model Kit Overview

The Hasegawa 65717 1/72 VF-1 Super/Strike Valkyrie model kit gives builders a compact yet highly detailed representation of the classic Macross mecha. With clear part separation and thoughtful engineering, it appeals to both newcomers and experienced modellers who want a tidy snap-fit build.

Construction and Fit

Parts are precision molded to deliver accurate shapes and reliable alignment during assembly. The snap-fit design reduces the need for glue, though optional painting will dramatically lift the finished look and let you tailor the scheme to your tastes. Small seams are easy to tidy up with basic modelling tools.

Posing and Display

When completed, the VF-1 Super/Strike Valkyrie makes a strong display piece that captures the silhouette of the original mecha. Articulation is focused on key joints to suggest motion and transformation without the complexity of an action figure. A simple base or stand will present the model attractively on a shelf.

Paint and Upgrades

The kit is a good platform for paint work and weathering, whether you apply subtle panel shading or bold markings. Builders can also add aftermarket parts or decals to boost realism and personalise their Valkyrie.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Assembly Type: Snap-fit
  • Color Separation: Parts are molded in base colors; painting is optional.

The Hasegawa 65717 VF-1 Super/Strike Valkyrie is a satisfying kit for hobbyists who want a manageable build with clear potential for finishing work. Its combination of fit, detail, and customisation options makes it a reliable addition to any Macross collection.

The kit is designed around snap-fit assembly so glue is optional for most joins. Some modders prefer a small amount of cement for reinforced seams or long-term stability.
There are third-party decal sheets and detail sets aimed at 1/72 scale Macross kits; check specialist retailers for compatible options to enhance markings and surface detail.
A sharp pair of sprue cutters, a hobby knife, fine files or sanding sticks, and tweezers are recommended for clean assembly. Optional items include primer and fine brushes or an airbrush for painting.
